Fun at the prom

7:30am Sunday 20th July 2008


THE end of term was one big party for these pupils at Applefields Special School in York.

For the second year running the school, in Bad Bargain Lane, held a prom for Year 11 and post-16 graduates and head teacher George Gilmore heralded the event as a “huge success”.

He said: “On the back of the success of last year’s event, we decided to hold a prom this year and the students thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

“It’s now become a permanent fixture on the school calendar and something that the students really look forward to.

“We had a local band, the Manic Street Teachers, providing the entertainment and the evening went with a real swing.”

There were prizes for best dressed male and female on the night which this year went to Lee Gurden and Hannah Sawyer.
